Hanging Chads in Maine

Oh, wow. It turns out that caucuses in some parts of Maine were postponed — and then told that their votes wouldn’t count.
And yes, it does seem that the disenfranchised caucuses were the least pro-Romney.

So maybe Romney didn’t actually win Maine, after all.

This kind of intervention by a friendly official is, of course, not something he can count on in the general election. I mean, it’s not as if, say, the governor of Florida could find a way to avoid counting enough
votes to decide the presidency. Oh, wait.
